DELL D620/630/830 kext pack - Page 11

First of all I want to say thx for your great package !

I've done a fresh install off SL on my Dell D630 (nvidia+broadcomm wifi)
All devices are working fine (wifi etc)..
But I've two issues now and I hope you guys can help me out.

1. BIG ISSUE: My internal display won't turn off. When I want to go to sleep mode it just don't turn off. If I hit the power button again the power menu comes up again and I can click on cancel.. but there is no sleep, I think just because the display won't turn off.. (btw I doesn't turn off either after a few minutes of inactivity)

Is this a problem with the nvidia kexts or powermanagent ? (I noticed QE is NOT working ! ) I hope you can help me because Sleep Mode is very important for me. (Reboot/Shutdown works fine)

2. Small Issue: the touchpad sensivity..
I tried the first soultion you posted and it worked but I had 10-30 of these processes which slowed down my performance. Then I tried the second soultion.. it is working much better than without the fix but its not gone completely. If there is a third thing I can do this would be great...

So thats the curent state of my "hackbook" , I hope there is way to make it completely working. If you have any ideas I will be your testing candidate :-)

thx !

UDATE:

QE and Sleep now working !
What I did: Downloaded osx86tools and repaired file permission and clear cache.. Reboot.. Now QE wa working ! and Sleep also !

What is not working for now:
Shutdown / Reboot
Touchpad Lingon.app is not working anymore, I got it working again with the first solution, but I think it will slowdown my laptop again..

I have a D620 with NVidia Quadra NVS 110m. I wonder if the kexts here can be used for my computer. Thanks.

Sorrz but I don't know if it will work on your card too. Just give it a try

@arb: The Natit kext will most likely work out for you, I don't know about the CPU, I remember in leopard we had to use a special kernel to enable the dual core as it would create a funny effect, I don't know if this has been corrected in SL.

If you look around you might find a Broadcom kext compatible with your card, at least in 32bits mode, I was able to get my D620 working very well in Leopard, now I am using a D630 so I don't the current status.

Hope you can make it work. Please post your results!

Cheers!

I downloaded the boot disk from another site and could install SL successfully.
Everything except Wake from Sleep seems to be working. I wonder if the kext pack here can fix Wake from Sleep issue. I am pretty new to Mac, so I don't know what is the problem, the power management or video card, etc. Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

Zdravim SLIC, ja mam problem s USB portami, co se tyce teho noveho packu, konkretne ide o DSDT.aml. Kdyz sem pouzil ten puvodnej, co si tu mnel, tak ide v pohode, ale tam zas nefunguje sleep ani clamshell. Tak se chci zeptat, jak bych mohl ten starej DSDT.aml upravit, aby mi fungoval sleep a clamshell. Skousel sem extrahovat DSDT.aml cez WinXP aj cez Linuxovou distribuci, ale pote byl problem s displayem, po nabootovani sem mnel cernou obrazovku.

Hi,

I downloaded D620SLV1.iso from
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=178411
There is a boot file for 10.5.6, but SL seems to be better.

Thanks for your help

This installer is the best! I did a fresh install last night and after running the installer I am the closest I've been to fully functional. If I could just get sleep to work I'd be satisfied. I have a 630 with x3100 graphics, 4 gigs of ram and two internal wifi cards. (I bought a broadcom off Ebay a long time ago as the 3945 seemed hopeless) I think the BIOS level is A14. When I select sleep the screen goes black and everything shuts down briefly and then it powers back up. You hear the fan and the optical drive comes to life but the screen stays black and nothing will wake it up. I discovered that if you select "onboard video" as the primary video in the BIOS settings for docking behavior it effects sleep in that the screen does wake up--it's just that it won't stay asleep. Maybe someone who has sleep working could post their BIOS settings and any other tips that make it work. I'll keep trying......
